Let's divide 23581275 by 74
We want to divide 23581275 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 235 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 222 from 235 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 138 1 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 74 from 138, we get 64.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 641 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 641 8 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we take 592 away from 641, we end up with 49.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 492 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 492 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3186.0
Deduct 444 from 492 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 74

Advancing to step 7:
487 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 43.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31866.0
Subtracting 444 from 487 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 435 / 74

Step 8:
74 can be fit into 435 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 318665.0
If we subtract 370 from 435, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 650 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 318665.8
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 592 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 318665.87
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 318665.878
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 318665.8783
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 318665.87837
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 318665.878378
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 318665.8783783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 318665.87837837
Subtract 518 from 580 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 318665.87837837 with a balance of 6.2e-08.
